OrbStack is great, it makes everything so easy - like networking: VMs and containers can talk to the host and to each other using hostnames; and file sharing: there are automatic mounts between host and guest; and sshing around just works.

Part of that though requires adopting a security model where thats OK. As I’ve started sprinkling MacOS hosts and guests throughout my network, I’ve needed to adopt other vz tactics.

OPs use of Tailscale mirrors my own, but given the security model of OrbStack it’s mostly a convenience rather than a hard security partition within the lan or even the host.

We have isolated machines in OrbStack now! Isolated machines have options for network isolation and mounting only specific paths (or none).
